N. t W- Reeve can take a joke as well as anyone, but the ex-express agent is getting tired of having the mail man deliver a copy of the “Appeal to Reason” every Week to his home. The Appeal to Reason is a weekly socialist publication, edited by the most radical socialists in the United States. The Current issue contains a glaring headline printed in red ink on the first page which reads: “Demonstrate for Debs on July 4th.” Debs at the present time is confined in the federal prison in West Virginiiu to which place he was sent for a ten-year term following his remarks against the government which were made in Milwaukee during an address. The article states that the public will eventually become acquainted with .the fact that Debs’ proper place is in the white house and not in a West Virginia prison. Mr. Reeve recently received a statement asking that he renew his subscription. Since Mr. Reeve did not subscribe for the paper originally it is hardly probable that he will send money for something which he does not want. "
